Every year millions of animals are tortured and killed every year at the hands of the profiteering capitalists. The multinational corporations worship at their alter which is the market and scarifice not only the lives of humans but of animals also. Banks invest in companies that test on animals, large corporations e.g. P & G, undoubtedly in most peoples opinion, mistreat animals to a disgusting, unbearable extent, fast food industries thrive on the mass production of meat and factory farming is a major influence in sustaining the increasing profit margins of the fat cats.
I would just like to hear everybodies opinions on the links between capitalism and animals (whether it be animal rights, cruelty or just in general terms). Are there any links? If so, how do we combate this in both the long and short term? If we didn't live in a capitalist driven society would animal mistreatment or misuse be such a big problem as it is in the above examples? you get the idea...
All opinions welcome (although maybe not accepted.. ) Happy posting!!
